[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 959405, member: 24160"] You'll have to read deeper into the manual. As Dysfunction pointed out, some sets will allow you to set the spdif input to correspond with one of the HDMI inputs. Usually, it is a specific port, either HDMI 1 or HDMI 2. Most of the sets on the market do not have this switching ability, In which case, you are correct, you'll need to use VGA to get sound on the TV. (Typically, that spdif port is used in conjunction with the component inputs. But, more and more manufacturers are, at last, taking into consideration those of us using a computer.) You'll need to look in the section on Connections. If it can be done, typically you'll see mention of connecting a DVI device. If you go with the VGA, you will also want to look at the section on connecting a computer. Many TVs have a limited # of resolutions accepted through the VGA. The decent manufacturers will have that info in the owner's manual. [/QUOTE]
